Is this possible? Controlling the starting point of a flash movie (e.g. telling the movie to begin and scene 2 frame 6) from within HTML?

Any help would be greatly appreciateed.

don’t use scenes! use frame labels…

I’m toying around with that myself… check out “flashvars” which lets you load a variable into flash from html. You can only load it once (at least as far as I can tell right now) from the object/embed tag(s). In flash you could then use that variable to make decisions, i.e.-what frame to go to.  
good luck!!!
